Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediate code review and remediation of the /edit_room.php script to ensure the 'ID' parameter is properly sanitized. 2. Implement parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection. 3. Apply strict input validation and whitelist acceptable input formats for all user-supplied data. 4. Monitor web application logs for unusual or suspicious SQL query patterns targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 5. Restrict database user permissions to the minimum necessary to limit potential damage from injection attacks. 6. If possible, isolate the affected system from critical internal networks to reduce lateral movement risk. 7. Engage with SourceCodester or community forums to obtain or develop official patches or updates. 8. Conduct penetration testing and vulnerability scanning to verify the absence of similar injection points. 9. Educate development and IT teams on secure coding practices to prevent future injection vulnerabilities. 10. Ensure regular backups of critical data to enable recovery in case of data corruption or deletion.

Description

A flaw has been found in SourceCodester Hotel and Lodge Management System 1.0. This impacts an unknown function of the file /edit_room.php. This manipulation of the argument ID causes sql injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.

Impact

For European organizations, especially those in the hospitality sector using SourceCodester Hotel and Lodge Management System 1.0, this vulnerability poses significant risks. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive customer data, including personal identification and booking details, potentially violating GDPR and other data protection regulations. Data integrity could be compromised, resulting in altered booking information or operational disruptions, which may affect service availability and customer trust. The attack requires no authentication or user interaction, making it easier for attackers to exploit remotely, increasing the threat landscape. Given the hospitality industry's importance in countries like Spain, Italy, France, Germany, and the UK, successful exploitation could have economic and reputational consequences. Additionally, attackers could leverage the vulnerability as a foothold for further network intrusion or lateral movement within the organization. The absence of known active exploitation provides a window for proactive defense, but the published exploit increases urgency for mitigation.

Summary

CVE-2025-11472 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in SourceCodester Hotel and Lodge Management System version 1.0, specifically affecting the /edit_room.php script. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'ID' parameter, which an attacker can manipulate remotely without any authentication or user interaction. This allows an attacker to inject malicious SQL code, potentially leading to unauthorized access to the backend database, data leakage, data modification, or even deletion of critical hotel management information. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 reflects a medium severity, considering the attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity and no privileges or user interaction required. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability to a limited extent due to the lack of scope change or system-level compromise. Although no active exploitation has been reported, the public availability of an exploit increases the risk of attacks. The vulnerability is particularly concerning for hospitality organizations relying on this system for managing room bookings, customer data, and operational workflows, as exploitation could disrupt services and compromise sensitive guest information. The lack of official patches necessitates immediate mitigation efforts by users. The vulnerability underscores the importance of secure coding practices such as input validation and the use of parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks.
